As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Final product: Petty Potty (Hannah & Netty)



Non-intrusive and out-of-sight, Petty Potty is an additional attachment to any toilet that can sense if the toilet seat has been left up by rude and inconsiderate toilet users. Once it sense that the seat is left up, after a 30 second timer for toilet use, it releases a gut-wrenching and rage-filled scream at the target user. Minimal sensors can easily be attached to the back of the bowl and under the seat, neatly tuck in the system behind the toilet, and plug it in, and you're ready to go!

With Petty Potty, even people with the worst cases of no common courtesy will learn to change their bad habits and build better ones.

Had enough already? Get petty!
